Men and measures must stand on their record. Voters
of Oregon, this is'what you arc called upon to decide next
Tuesday, November 8th.
The good general, when defeated, retires in order and
gathers up his forces to charge again and regain his lost
ground. Does the prohibitionist? No, like the bunko steer
err he hies himself to pastures new, -where the grass is taller .
and his game is not so well known.
And should, anybody attempt to differ with him, be
he preacher or layrnan, they immediately set up a liowl of
liar, thief, fraud and prohibition is the biggest fraud
ever perpetrated on the American voter.
Prohibitionists claim thirty-eight millions of people in
the United States are now living in dry .territory, yet the
consumption of liquor is on the increase? Could. it be that
the fellows in this dry territory have some in their cellars?
NO. Liar again. Then the fellow in the wet territory
must work overtime or a double shift.
:
Fifty years ago the leaders of prohibition thought they
saw the dawn of the perfect day, "when there wouldn't be
a dram shop nor a drunkard in all the land. They were
confident tliat the problem of intemperance which had per-
nlovPfl find baffled mankind for thousands of years was
as good as solved. The great dragon was about to be slain
f Jand his dead 'carcass hurled, into the bottomless pit. But
it turned out to be all a dream. Tiie dragon was not siain;
he was not even seriously wounded. If he disappeared
at all, it was only to betake himself to the cellar to await
the passing storm, which soon died out, and now the suc
cessors of the men that rallied around the standard of Neal
Dow are working the same promises that were made of old.
They assure us that the present movement means bus--'
iness, and that this wave will not subside until it has swept
over every foot of American soil, and has done to the rum
' .' traffic what Jehovah did to the Egyptians in the Red sea.
. ... Or what Samson did to the Philistines with a jaw
. bone of an ass. They are still using the jawbone.
i By its record prohibition must be judged. On every
page of that record from Maine to North Carolina must be
.written, folly, failure.
t
'Neither a state-wide system, nor. under, local 'option,
has prohibition ever made the slightest headway towards
the solution of the liquor problem. The one solitary serv
ice that it has rendered to society is that of furnishing a
warning example of the supreme folly of attempting to
legislate virtue into men's lives.
The long list of states 4which have tried and repudiated
prohibition shows it to be destructive of moral welfare
and prosperity Well might we say with the poet:
-1
"better bear the ills we know than fly to those we. know not of"

Vote Yes For Deschutes County
iMr . 350 X Yes
The huge counties of Central Oregon must be divided in order to facilitate the proper development of this
vast Empire the creation of Deschutes County is the first and logical step.
The laws of Oregon make it impossible to create a new county in any way other .than by a vote of the
state at large therefore the residents of the proposed Deschutos County ask your support.
